I agree with Kelly... SQL and calling commands/programs (with parms) would
be the 2 MAIN things. And calling programs should be synchronous, or at
least an easy option (ie, call vs callsync). If we want them async well
call submit it to batch.

If we can call a program, we can do almost anything.

Save the dataq, data area, other object manipulation to when that is all
ironed out.

I think we mostly want to be able to able to run SQL against DB2 files and
call CL/COBOL programs. Other functionality would be great. But these two
capabilities are key for us. I'll keep looking around. Plus, I'll get back
to Node on the IBM i as well. Cover all of the bases.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [WEB400] Problem with iToolkit in Node on Windows

Forgot to relay a repo that does an implementation of db2sock in Node.js.
Check it out here: https://bitbucket.org/freschesolutions/db2sock-itoolkit
<https://bitbucket.org/freschesolutions/db2sock-itoolkit>

It is only focusing on program calls and not DB2. DB2 will come eventually.

Something to keep a pulse on is this project: https://bitbucket.
org/litmis/db2sock

And read these threads in the Issues:

https://bitbucket.org/litmis/db2sock/issues/1/general-look-feel-of-async
<https://bitbucket.org/litmis/db2sock/issues/1/general-look-feel-of-async>
https://bitbucket.org/litmis/db2sock/issues/5/make-connection-using-odbc
<https://bitbucket.org/litmis/db2sock/issues/5/make-connection-using-odbc>


FWIW, Ruby is in the same boat. Not sure about Python or PHP.
